As a LPC, I know that the client is the expert in their own life, and this truth guides the work we do together. I earned my BA from Lycoming College and my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling from Rider University. My theoretical framework is Person Centered/Solution Focused/CBT via talk therapy. My specialties include, but are not limited to anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, career challenges, relationship issues, grief, family challenges, and illness.
I have been working in the mental health field for four years and have experience supporting clients ages 5–60. I graduated from Regent University in 2021 with a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. For clients who prefer a faith-based approach, I also integrate Christian principles into therapy sessions.
I believe the most effective care comes from a strong, collaborative partnership. I approach each person as more than a diagnosis, and I value honesty, accountability, and mutual respect in the work we do together. Change is possible—I’ve seen it firsthand—and I’m here to support you in becoming the version of yourself you want to be. My background includes both a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Nursing from Walsh University, and I bring that clinical foundation into thoughtful, individualized care.
I am a direct, solution- oriented mental health therapist with over 30 years helping people navigate mental health challenges
Something keeps getting in the way - focus, old wounds, stress you can't quite name. I'm Michael, a Virginia LPC who works with adults around ADHD, trauma, and the weight men often carry without much support. Therapy with me is grounded, solution-oriented, and built for real change.
I'm a board-certified psychiatrist with over 20 years of experience in both general psychiatry and addiction medicine. My background spans a wide range of mental health conditions — from anxiety and depression to bipolar disorder and substance use — and I bring a deeply holistic perspective to every patient I work with. I offer telehealth care with flexible scheduling, including early morning appointments starting at 7:30am for those who need care before their workday begins.
I have over 8 1/2 years of experience helping adults, children, and families learn how to heal and grow from dysfunction, trauma, addiction, and mental health issues of all kinds. I have worked with people from ages 3-80 years old so I have a multitude of experiences with all kinds of mental health issues including (trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, LGBTQIA+ related issues, and more). I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who has worked in community mental health and online.
I am a licensed professional counseling and I have experience working with individuals that struggle with anxiety, depression, bipolar, PTSD, trauma, personal issues, self esteem, relationship issues and substance abuse. My counseling style is warm and engaging. I treat anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion
Do you feel unsettled or that you're not where you want to be in life? Maybe you’re wondering if you’ll ever be a “good enough” partner, wife, mother, friend, or just good enough, in general. Or you’re faced with an important life decision like marriage, a new job, or whether or not to have a baby. You can’t really put your finger on why these decisions are so hard for you and that keeps you stuck and feeling anxious all the time. You have a hard time trusting your gut or listening to that quiet voice inside you that’s telling you something’s not right.
Thoughts and feelings like these can be so upsetting. And yet they are very common among women. That’s where I come in. I work with women just like you who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and perinatal issues such as postpartum depression. I offer a safe, non judgmental space to explore these feelings and get relief.
Learn ways of managing difficult thoughts and feelings and achieve the life you want for yourself. Sessions are exclusively online. You can receive the help in the privacy and comfort of a setting of your choosing. Online counseling is great for caregivers, busy professionals, those with health issues, or anyone who wants the flexibility telehealth offers.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Chester
Searching for therapists in Chester starts with finding someone whose experience fits what you want support with. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or a major life change. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with the concerns most relevant to you. A bio can also show how a therapist describes their style, what sessions may focus on, and whether their approach feels like a practical match.
Chester is a smaller community, so the number of nearby in-person therapists may be more limited than in larger Virginia cities. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Virginia. Some people prefer meeting in an office, while others choose virtual sessions for schedule fit or easier access from home. When narrowing your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, free phone consultation options, and how clearly their profile explains their approach.
Therapy in Chester can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can review profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
